What's a cheap good camera that takes pictures and videos?

I'm in charge of taking pictures and putting them together for a student council scrapbook. I'm in need of a camera but I don't know which on to get. I'm looking for a cheap camera. Under $100 (i'm not sure what camera's cost) I also want it to take video because it will be a virtual scrapbook. Something simple that I can take in my backpack with me and take quick pictures with, must be a digital camera some kind of kodak or nikon?

There's nothing "cheap" and "good" - cheap quality doesn't exist. Why would you expect cheap to be good anyway?

You want quality, pay for it - $400 plus.

When shopping for which digital camera to buy it all comes down to individual needs and how much you have to spend, saying that I will still try and help as best I can by providing you with a few links to digital cameras I think might suite your needs and budget

I highly recommend taking a look at the cameras listed above as they are all very high quality devices at down to earth bargain prices.

At $89.99 (list) the 10-megapixel PowerShot A800 is the least-expensive digital camera Canon sells. Unsurprisingly, this pocket shooter lacks in features, but it covers the basics, and there's something to be said for its simple experience. It also delivers good, clean, sharp images, along with solid speeds. So far, so good. Then you get to what's missing: a high-res LCD, a rechargeable battery, and high-def video. But the biggest problem is the camera's lack of optical image stabilization, which can mean blurry pictures.
